From the rear cover

Lee's ear for colloquial speech, his attention to concrete detail, and his firsthand knowledge of rural farm life has informed his poetry, making him unique in his generation. Peopled with some of the most authentically drawn characterizations of agrarian life since Mark Twain, Lee's is a small-town universe filled with hilarity, love, labor, and tragicomedy, but above all else, with compassionate wisdom.
